QuickSilver Controls, Inc., adds CAN bus to its SilverDust(TM) IGB servo motion controller/driver for servo control of NEMA 17 and 23 frame stepmotors. The CANopen compatible interface is fully isolated and supports up to 64 devices on the 1MB bus.
The addition of CANopen enhances the motion controller's unique ability to servo microstep motors by allowing one servo to modify the motion of another servo. CANopen may be used to interface to other CANopen products (Master or Slave) or as a "local" bus for peer-to-peer register sharing for such things as encoder position, velocity, torque and I/O. The motion controller's serial port (RS232 or RS485) is still available for interface to a host such as a PLC, HMI or PC.
For more details, see the SilverLode CANopen User Manual on QuickSilver's website (www.QuickSilverControls.com).
